Iam really stumped in that case since, mii-diag tool based
on Donald Beckers code, ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/diag/mii-diag.c
seems to work ok without CAP_NET_ADMIN on RH 7.1
and RH8.0 distros.
(I dont set any capabilities just tried to read speed / card id
and it never returned EPERM for me)
I chanced on the ethtool since mii failed to report anything on
newer Gigabit cards (specifically a Broadcom Corporation
NetXtreme BCM5701 card)
However ethtool required running with su root even for reading
the capabilities (I recompiled ethtool code with only a GSET
command to confirm this) and that is why i have this doubt on the
reason of the behavioural differnces between the 2 ioctl's
